Premier Guitar to Sponsor 2013 NY Guitar Show & Exposition

The NY Guitar Show & Exposition proudly announces the addition of Premier Guitar as a Media Partner and Sponsor of the 2013 NY Guitar Show & Exposition.

Recognizing the impact of a growing regional guitar event, Premier Guitar is sponsoring this year’s NY Guitar Show & Exposition, the 2nd annual guitar confab spearheaded by founder/promoter Richard Johnson.

“It’s great to see a new event that caters to serious guitar enthusiasts in America’s largest metropolitan area,” said Premier Guitar publisher Jon Levy.  “With the NY Guitar Show & Exposition continuing to grow, Premier Guitar is happy to build awareness – and attract new attendees – while helping the NY Guitar Expo gain in prominence.” 

NY Guitar Show founder Richard Johnson said, “Being in the media through television and radio for 19 years through our Fishing Line brand programs (www.thefishingline.com), I’ve always been aware of the need for a media presence in today’s business world. Having Premier Guitar as that media partner / sponsor presents a huge jolt of credibility around the country for our guitar show. This partnership sends the message to vintage dealers and gearhounds across the country the NY Guitar Show located in the highest per capita income range in the country should now be on their calendar of shows to do.

“PG has always championed the cause of the builder/luthier, the hard-core gearhound and the NY Guitar Expo brings both of these groups together beautifully,” Levy added.

About Premier Guitar: PG is the media home for players who are serious about their tone.  With its fervent focus on guitar gear, Premier Guitar offers its content over multiple and freely accessible digital platforms: premierguitar.com (which averages more than 1 million unique visitors per month), a digital magazine with more than 100,000 subscribers, mobile-device apps (for Android, iPhone, and iPad), a weekly e-newsletter, a YouTube channel with more than 36 million video views and 75,000 subscribers, and highly engaged social-media channels on Facebook and Twitter. Based in Marion, Iowa, PG also offers a sumptuous monthly print magazine that is embraced by hard-core guitar gear enthusiasts around the world.

NY Guitar Show & Exposition: The 2013 NY Guitar Show & Exposition at the Freeport Recreation Center, 130 E. Merrick Rd. in Freeport, NY on April 27 & 28, 2013 features new, vintage and used instruments & amps, local dealers/music stores, custom builders and major manufacturers.

Hi Folks, we have now set up the official page for the New York Guitar Show & Expositions. If you are a rabid Facebook user then look for news on our event posted at the new Official Page. I would ask everyone to visit the official page and "like" the page as well. The page is still new so it's not coming up immediately during searches. But the link, wwww.Facebook.com/NYGuitarExpo in the browser will come right up. Our home page on the web is www.nyguitarexpo.com
